Why?Tony Hawk and Ben Harper bring old decks back to life.

Beat-up boards from some of the most famous skaters in the world get a second life with a musicians’ touch in order to raise funds for the Tony Hawk Foundation, which serves at-risk youth. Skaters reached out to musicians they admired to write their favorite song lyrics on the boards, and there are superstars in the bunch from both worlds: Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain and Adam Yauch, to name just a few. The boards are up for sale on eBay and currently on display at the GRAMMY Museum through Dec. 16. Check it.
